Review by Scott Yanow
Vibraphonist Jay Hoggard gained his initial recognition for his playing in avant-garde and adventurous settings. By the late 80s, Hoggard had decided to explore hard bop and straight-ahead jazz. On this out of print but worthy CD, the vibraphonist recalls Bobby Hutcherson and Milt Jackson in spots, swinging on a variety of originals, Stevie Wonder's "You And I" and "Sonny's Themes" (which covers Sonny Rollins' "Alfie" and "Sonnymoon for Two"). The young Benny Green is a major asset on piano, bassist Marcus McLaurine and drummer Yoron Israel are excellent in support, and Hoggard's songs are full of variety and color. This set (which is otherwise from 1980) concludes with a live and unaccompanied 1977 rendition of "God Is Capable of Everything," on which Hoggard plays quite beautifully.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El vibrafonista Jay Hoggard obtuvo su reconocimiento inicial por su interpretación en escenarios vanguardistas y aventureros. A finales de los 80, Hoggard había decidido explorar el hard bop y el jazz directo. En este CD agotado pero digno, el vibrafonista recuerda a Bobby Hutcherson y Milt Jackson en spots, balanceándose en una variedad de originales, "You And I" de Stevie Wonder y "Sonny's Themes" (que cubre "Alfie" y "Sonnymoon for Two" de Sonny Rollins). El joven Benny Green es un gran activo en el piano, el bajista Marcus McLaurine y el baterista Yoron Israel son excelentes en el apoyo, y las canciones de Hoggard están llenas de variedad y color. Este set (que por lo demás es de 1980) concluye con una interpretación en vivo y sin acompañamiento de 1977 de "God Is Capable of Everything" (Dios es capaz de todo), en la que Hoggard toca de manera muy bella.
